1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life:
That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have witnessed with our eyes, that which we contemplated and our hands handled with reference to the word of the Life
2 For the life was manifested; and we have seen and do bear witness, and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father, and hath appeared to us: (aiōnios g166)
—oh yes, the Life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and declare to you that eternal Life who was in the presence of the Father and was manifested to us— (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, so that you also may have fellowship with us; indeed, our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4 And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice, and your joy may be full.
Yes, we write these things to you so that our joy may be fulfilled.
5 And this is the declaration which we have heard from him, and declare unto you: That God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
Now this is the message that we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and there is no darkness at all in Him.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
If we claim that we have fellowship with Him while walking in the darkness, we are lying and not living the truth.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
But if we walk in the light just as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we claim that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the Truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous so as to forgive us those sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
If we claim that we have not sinned, we call Him a liar and His Word is not in us.
